Pi J.)Hi & Iditarod Contender PERSPECTIVE Change versus Status Quo I would like to believe that I've always been a proponent of change. However when I think back on some of the change I have re is ted, especially in my profes ionallife, it's embarrassing! The status quo can be so very comfortable. Let' face it, change is hard work and it can be risky. Aren't we glad that our 12 Founders did not settle for the status quo? The history of Pi Phi is rich with leaders and members who were not content with the current state of affairs and became leaders for change within Pi Phi, the larger Greek community and even in society. Emma Harper Turner, Carrie Chapman Catt, May Lansfield Keller, the teachers at Settlement School, and in more recent years, Jean Wirths Scott, have all been change agents for Pi Phi. I am proud to say that Pi Phi's uadition of changing in order to stay relevant to our members and to maintain our role as leaders is fully operational today! We are still not sati fied with the status quo. Too many of our recent graduates lose meaningful con­ nection with the Fraternity within five years of graduation. Less than 20 percent of our alumnae financially suppOrt the operations of the Fraternity by paying their dues of only 20 per year. We know from research that we have to be more effective in articu­ lating and delivering a value proposition to ensure that membership in Pi Phi is not just something our members do in college. These are the types of fundamental issues that are being addressed as we institute many improvements and changes. Leading with Values, the collegiate member development program introduced in Grand Vice President of 2003, is a cultural shift for Pi Phi. While it is based on our core values, Leading with Program Development Values challenges our members to go beyond what has become the stereotypical Karen Shelton Chevalier sorority experience. When fully embraced, this program tran forms chapter into purposeful groups that develop leader and contribute to society while still keeping those all important elements of fun and friendship. Leading with Values is key to our value proposition. A new chapter officer suucture has been designed to support not only the Leading with Values program, but all of the work involved in today's collegiate chapters. Chapter officer have remained basically unchanged for more than 30 years! The pro­ posed changes, which will be put before the convention delegates this summer, divide the work of the chapter more evenly and, we think, more logically. For years our colle­ giate members have requested more relevant tides that might actually mean omething on a resume. The new chapter officer structure, the realities of a shrinking volunteer force and the need to profe sionalize much of the work of the Fraternity have been the impe­ tu for changes in the international officer structure. By shifting to a regional team approach, as oppo ed to the smaller provinces that rely on a single officer, we are going to be able to be more effective and agile in supporting our chapters and alumnae organizations. Please join me in embracing these new initiatives. It' my hope that Pi Phi will never be atisfied with the status quo. That's the hallmark of a premier organization for women - Pi Beta Phi!
